Investment Competition
About the Competition
The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, online investment simulation (模拟) for high school students(9th to 12th grade)and teachers. Students work in teams of four to seven, guided by a teacher as their advisor (顾问). Together, they learn about teamwork, communication, risk, companies and industry analysis and many other important aspects of investing.
Teams examine a brief case study featuring a potential client and are tasked with working closely to meet that client’s long term investment goals. Equipped with an approved stock list and the Wharton Investment Simulator (WInS), which allows them to simulate (模拟) stock trading, students develop an investment strategy, analyze sectors and companies, and build a portfolio (投资组合) using $ 100 ,000 in virtual cash provided by WInS over the course of 10 weeks. Winners are selected on the strength of their team strategies, not on the growth of their portfolios.
Results
Final reports are reviewed by a team of judges, who select 50 semi-finalist teams. Those teams are invited to present their strategies to a panel of expert judges at the virtual semifinals. The top 10 teams from the semifinals move on to the final of the competition, the Global Finale, at Wharton in Philadelphia.
Please Remember
Once advisors register for the competition, they will receive a confirmation email with instructions to set up their student team accounts on WInS, our trading platform. Student team accounts must be set up no later than September 20, 2023. In order to complete the registration form, advisors will need to:
•Choose the username and password for their advisor accounts.
•Provide their school-issued email address, as well as a back-up email address where all competition communications will be sent.
21. What’s the function of WInS?
A. Offering virtual cash. B. Studying some brief cases.
C. Making people win business. D. Understanding clients’ requirements.
22. What can we know about the Global Finale?
A. All final reports must be delivered to it.
B. It’s the highest level of the competition.
C. It’s a final graded by clients’ opinions.
D. About fifty teams can participate in it.
23. What should advisors do after registering for the competition?
A. Send a confirmation email to judges.
B. Guide students to create their own accounts.
C. Ensure team members are from the same school.
D. Build the student team accounts on the specific platform.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D

For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s garbage may be another person’s treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s — the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn’t believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don’t get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago?
A. To do what he thought was worth doing.
B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To discover more stories behind them.
D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape?
A. By recalling the past.
B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans.
D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
26. What’s the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again?
A. They feel at a loss. B. They’re filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.
27. What is a rule observed by the author?
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish.
B. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations.
D. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者发现一些无意中被丢弃的照片和其他物品,尽力寻回其主人的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others. (我想如果这些是我或我家人的,我会希望有人把它们还给我。所以我把为别人做这件事作为我的目标。)”可知,作者换位思考,认为自己会希望别人把东西还回来。由此推知,他两年前还旧照片是因为要去做他认为值得做的事。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. (我还建立了一个社交媒体账户,帮助物品与失主或其他家庭成员团聚。我发布的第一个项目是一个家庭度假的录像带,我把它数字化了。)”和第五段中“My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. (我在社交媒体上的粉丝联系了美国各大学的体育部,询问上世纪90年代的游泳教练是否认出了这名学生。)”可知,作者建立社交媒体账户发布录像带,他的粉丝帮忙寻找相关线索,通过作者和粉丝的帮助,最终这家人重新得到这盘录像带。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. (当人们再次看到这些东西时,往往会很受触动——大多数这些东西都是在搬家或家人去世后丢失的,因为他们以为再也见不到这些东西了。)”可知,当人们再次看到丢失的物品时,他们往往充满了强烈的情感。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. (我有一些规则,包括不分享敏感照片,如果家人不希望他们的记忆出现在网上,就删除帖子。)”可知,作者会遵守如果不被允许就删除网上的帖子的规则。故选D项。
C
Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America’s oldest railroad industry publication.
“It’s logical that the United States hasn’t yet developed a nationwide high-speed network, "says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom’s US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours — preferably two hours, where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air’s share of the market from 100%to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To define a meaning. D. To draw a comparison.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Didn’t get involved in. B. Didn’t change.
C. Didn’t give up. D. Didn’t protest.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains?
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在过去的五十年里,高铁的发展推动了经济的发展,创造了巨大的社会价值。本文主要介绍了美国的交通现状及美国人对高铁的认知和态度,分析了高铁在美国未来发展的可能性。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.(在过去的50年里,事实证明,高铁不仅缩短了旅行时间,更重要的是,它推动了经济增长,创造了就业机会,使社区更加紧密)”可知,第一段主要表达了高铁的社会价值。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.(虽然日本在1964年就以新干线“子弹头列车”开启了这一潮流,但真正推动全球高速列车革命并持续加速的,是20世纪80年代初法国TGV的到来。自2008年以来,中国已经建设了大约4.2万公里的高速铁路,并计划到2035年超过7万公里)”可知,第二段分别对日本、法国和中国在高铁发展方面所做出的成绩作了说明,接着引出第三段“But the United States detoured the revolution.(但是美国避开了这场革命)”。由此推知,第二段的目的是为了与美国高铁发展的现状作对比,进一步讲述美国的交通现状和对待高铁的态度。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.(自20世纪50年代以来,汽车和飞机一直主导着美国的长途旅行。现在,美国人仍然几乎完全依赖于拥挤的高速公路或容易崩溃的航空网络)”可知,美国并未进行高铁的建设和发展,交通方式仍然以公路和航空为主;结合划线词所在句的“But”可知,美国并未参与这次的全球高铁革命。由此可知,划线词“detoured”表示“没有参与”。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Scott的话“For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.(几十年来,开车出行并不是一件难事,但随着高速公路拥堵的加剧,我们已经到了一个应该开始更认真地寻找替代方案的阶段)”和最后一段“The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.(这种模式在美国和在全球同样有效)”可推知,Scott Sherin认为高铁在美国的发展应该是灵活的,美国应该根据自己的需求来建设和发展高铁,以解决交通拥堵问题。故选D。
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural(神经系统的)activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时). This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour forward, In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people,” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to new research?
A. It makes them kind and motivated.
B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others.
D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text?
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
C. It saw a 10%drop in donations in all states.
D. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
34. How is the text organized?
A. Hypothetical—Real. B. Cause—Effect
C. Phenomenon—Analysis. D. General—Particular.
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Three Important Studies
B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish?
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss
D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More?
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现——该研究表明,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性,也就是带来自私的行为。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.(根据发表在《公共科学图书馆之生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性。)”以及第三段““Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.( Ben Simon说:“即使我们只少睡一个小时,也足以影响我们帮助别人的选择,打击我们人性的善良和帮助有需要的人的动机。”)”可知,当一个人缺少睡眠的时候,就不太愿意帮助别人。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时).(在第一项研究中,通过查看2001年至2016年期间300万笔慈善捐款的数据库,Eti Ben Simon、Matthew Walker和他们的同事发现,夏令时后捐款减少了10%。)”可知,第一项研究主要集中研究人们的捐款。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.(睡眠被广泛认为是生命的必要过程之一。但是你是否知道不眠之夜也会导致自私的行为?根据发表在《公共科学图书馆之生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,睡眠不足会影响一个人帮助别人的可能性。)”可知,第一段首先提出一个研究发现的结果,或者说是一种现象。而下文则对这种现象的产生进行分析研究。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior?

Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. ___36___
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. ___37___ My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more. Compare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
___38___ Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. ___39___ It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
___40___ Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you? After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A. I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B. Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C. A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D. It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E. Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.

【答案】36. F 37. A 38. D 39. E 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何选购一款适合自己的背包。
【36题详解】
根据前文“A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. (快速浏览我的户外贸易目录,发现有49家公司销售或制造背包。如果它们都生产10个背包,那么对于初学者来说,选择的数量是令人惊人的。)”可知,此处强调当面临数量众多的背包时,不知道如何选择,后文应该指出解决方案。F选项“So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.(所以,在你踏入户外商店之前,先考虑一下你自己的需求。)”与前文构成因果关系。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. (冬天的时候,我有时会加一个睡袋和一个手电筒。)”可知,此处指出作者常常带的物品,后文应该介绍作者目前所使用型号的背包足够大。A选项“I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.(我需要一个容量适中的背包。)”讲述作者对背包容量的需求,承接前文。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. (选择一个轻的背包,但要确保它能承受你所携带的东西的重量,并且它能舒适地支撑你的背部。)”可知,本段主要围绕的是选择轻型背包,并考虑背包材质、内饰、性能等展开。D选项“It is recommended that you consider weight and features.(建议您考虑重量和特征。)”概括本文内容。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据前文“you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. (你应该选择一个方便取用的背包。)”以及后文“It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. (选择一个适合你背部长度的背包也很重要。)”可知,此处指出选择合适自己的背包。E选项“Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.(有些背包的脖口很窄,很难取出大的东西。)”引起下文,指出背包的脖口很小,很难伸手够到东西,承接前文提出的应该要选择适合自己背包。同时后文也提出了具体建议还要适合自己背部长度的背包,符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据前文“but why buy something that won’t look good on you? (但是为什么要买一些不适合你的东西呢?)”可知,此处强调选择背包也要注意外观。B选项“Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.(毫无疑问,我们不会忽视背包的外观。)”符合语境。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。强大的词汇量对于有效的沟通是必不可少的。文章介绍了增加词汇的方法。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:强大的词汇量对于有效的沟通是必不可少的。它不仅可以帮助学生更清楚地表达自己的想法和观点,而且还可以使他们在未来成为一个更有说服力的演讲者或作家,从而增加他们在社交和专业场合的信心。形容词性物主代词修饰名词,这里是指他们的思想、心思,应用其复数形式。故填thoughts。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语,increase的逻辑主语是it,且与increase构成主动关系,所以用v-ing表意料之中的结果。故填increasing。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它不仅可以帮助学生更清楚地表达自己的想法和观点,而且还可以使他们在未来成为一个更有说服力的演讲者或作家,从而增加他们在社交和专业场合的信心。根据句意并分析句子可知,这里要用形容词形式修饰后面的名词。故填professional。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:研究表明,一般词汇知识是学术成绩的一个很好的预测指标。形容词修饰其后面的名词,由an可知,应用单数,academic achievement表示“学业成绩”,故填achievement。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从幼儿园到12年级,平均每天阅读超过30分钟的学生可能会遇到大约1300万单词。an average of是固定搭配,表示“……平均数”,故填an。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:简而言之,学生读得越多,他们认识的单词就越多,他们在学校就越成功。副词位于句首,修饰整个句子, briely表示“简言之”,单词位于句首,首字母大写,故填Briefly。
【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:建立一个强大的词汇需要持续的努力和练习。句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,动名词作主语,谓语动词用单数。故填reqires。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:阅读是增加词汇量的最好方法。the best way to do sth.表示“做……的最好方法”,应用不定式作后置定语,修饰way。故填to build。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:阅读涵盖广泛主题的书籍、杂志和报纸,并注意不熟悉的单词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,定语从句缺少主语,先行词“books, magazines, and newspapers”指物,所以用关系代词that或者which,故填that/which。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:查找它们的意思,并尽可能多地在上下文中使用它们,因为建立强大词汇的关键是经常使用它们。the key to (doing) sth是固定搭配,表示“做某事的关键”,to是介词,接动名词作宾语,故填to。

【答案】Dear Simon,
I am glad to receive your letter asking for my advice.
You say you don’t have enough time to finish your homework. I think you had better plan your day carefully. At first, it will be a good choice to make a list of all the homework you have to do, which will give you an idea of how much free time you can use to play basketball. Second, don’t give up your hobby and don’t forget about your study, either. For students, nothing is more important than learning in senior high school. Therefore, you should keep a balance between study and hobby.
Hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Yours,
Li Hua

Investment Competition
About the Competition
The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, online investment simulation (模拟) for high school students(9th to 12th grade)and teachers. Students work in teams of four to seven, guided by a teacher as their advisor (顾问). Together, they learn about teamwork, communication, risk, companies and industry analysis and many other important aspects of investing.
Teams examine a brief case study featuring a potential client and are tasked with working closely to meet that client’s long term investment goals. Equipped with an approved stock list and the Wharton Investment Simulator (WInS), which allows them to simulate (模拟) stock trading, students develop an investment strategy, analyze sectors and companies, and build a portfolio (投资组合) using $ 100 ,000 in virtual cash provided by WInS over the course of 10 weeks. Winners are selected on the strength of their team strategies, not on the growth of their portfolios.
Results
Final reports are reviewed by a team of judges, who select 50 semi-finalist teams. Those teams are invited to present their strategies to a panel of expert judges at the virtual semifinals. The top 10 teams from the semifinals move on to the final of the competition, the Global Finale, at Wharton in Philadelphia.

For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s garbage may be another person’s treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s — the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn’t believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite affecting when seeing the items again — most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don’t get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago?
A. To do what he thought was worth doing.
B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To discover more stories behind them.
D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape?
A. By recalling the past.
B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans.
D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
26. What’s the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again?
A. They feel at a loss. B. They’re filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.
27. What is a rule observed by the author?
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish.
B. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations.
D. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
C
Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s.Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America’s oldest railroad industry publication.
“It’s logical that the United States hasn’t yet developed a nationwide high-speed network, "says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom’s US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours — preferably two hours, where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air’s share of the market from 100%to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally.” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To define a meaning. D. To draw a comparison.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Didn’t get involved in. B. Didn’t change.
C. Didn’t give up. D. Didn’t protest.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains?
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior? Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural(神经系统的)activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one hour less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time(夏令时). This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour forward, In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people,” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to new research?
A. It makes them kind and motivated.
B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others.
D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text?
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
C. It saw a 10%drop in donations in all states.
D. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
34. How is the text organized?
A. Hypothetical—Real. B. Cause—Effect
C. Phenomenon—Analysis. D. General—Particular.
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Three Important Studies
B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish?
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss
D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More?

Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. ___36___
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. ___37___ My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more. Compare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
___38___ Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. ___39___ It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
___40___ Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you? After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A. I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B. Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C. A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D. It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E. Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.
F. So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.
G. A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you.
